The flag has individually sewn stars, A feature of old flags. It is made of a linen and wool type of material Since the United States believed that secession from the Union was illegal, the national flag during the Civil War continued to bear the stars of all the states of the Union, even the Southern states. The flag measures approximately 16’x11.5’. An enormous size that is rare to find. With such a long history behind it, the flag does have some losses to the material.
